[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theeverlastingend:
Yah I know what ya mean the stock colours are a bit rough on the eye, I'm keen to start doing some theme work as i go along but I may use a nice theme that's already available in the next release to get things looking nice before I get to it. Kernel: Most likely going to be changed anyway, possibly to something UV'ed by default but not necessarily OC'd which leads me to battery, drain doesn't seam bad at all... but I'm bin experimenting and testing different software mixes alot so I really haven't had the change to really gauge it but its not horrible at the moment (IMO).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theeverlastingend:
Thanks for your support, its still early days but I'm hoping to have something after awhile with a really alternative feel especially with the software itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
ADWLauncher with darkEdge themes look very sleek on my phone. Try it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Hi again,

I think different proffessionals have different requirements. If you want this to to see a logical end, make a ROM for doctors, one for engineers, one for architects, one for politicians, one for social workers, one for kids, one for teenagers, one for single MOMs, one for divorcees, Etc, Etc.

One package doesn't seriously fit ALL.

EDIT1 : A seriously overweight woman would require a diet plan software.

EDIT2 : A scientist would prefer to have wolfram & use it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] profi208:
While reading the first few sentences..

I was having the idea that this rom is working towards battery efficiency.. :(

lol.. I see you're having fun replacing stock apps..

Enjoy.. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] crash-petard:
Oh, what app did you use for contact replacement ? I'm trying to replace samsung contact app with AOSP Contact App...but I fail everytime. Do you think it's possible ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theeverlastingend:
hmmm I see what your saying and perhaps I haven't quite expressed my intentions perfectly yet (this is very much a work in progress)... My main intention is to switch out as many of the standard apps as possible (from the dialer to Google maps) with free community developed alternatives, this is my main aim. My secondary aim is to have something with a bit of weight to it, not ridiculously full just full of nice useful apps that cover a decent range of uses but not anything so specific as to target a specific audience.

Also thanks for advising me about those themes, I am currently looking into a few options atm. Though unsure which to persue as yet.

Also a new build will be going up in the next hour or so (my upload speed is horrible atm) which has had quite a few changes since the first release... Also keep an eye out as I will be putting alot of time towards this and are hoping for daily updates (till things reach a point I'm alot more happy with).

So please come back now and then just to see whats bin done and your comments are definately more then welcome!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theeverlastingend:
Sorry though this will be something I look at down the line atm its not the highest of priorites. This is very much an experiment of sorts that may or may not develop into something good... Thanks for having a look anyway
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theeverlastingend:
ahh i see we've run into similar problems, specifically the mms and contacts apps... Atm I've pretty well settled on just adding an extra two apps and leaving them (that reminds me I need to re-add contapps its quite good). There's definitely dependance issues with those two apks which there is possibly a way around but definitely not an obvious one, I've spent a bit of time reading around but yet to have any luck and quite a lot of experimenting has left me with no luck so far sorry... Would be wonderful to hear back if you find a solution
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] crash-petard:
Ok. :) I was thinking about a dependance issue too, so I'm looking at the other files contained, for example, in the Gapps zip of CM7. There is a LIB folder, which could be related to. Following that track : in the Lib folder of CM7, we can find some lib files related to the keyboard, the camera app, etc... But no explicit "libcontact" file (for example).

I don't think that Etc and Framework folders could be useful.

However, I'm just groping. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theeverlastingend:
Actually this is something I noticed aswell... When I replaced the gallery in Deviant I found I could use Floating Image as a replacement fine but that didnt cut it as a good full featured gallery (though it was cool to look at) so I decided to replace it with QuickPic which just force closed on boot, but by doing alot of reading around happened across a fix but putting a single library file from its APK into the lib folder of the rom and now it works flawlessly. Yet to find a way around the MMS or Contacts issue sadly, which is something I would really like to have fixed in a future release.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] crash-petard:
Very interesting .. we're on the right track. Maybe contacting a skilled developer (Darky, Doc,...) would be helpful? Or even the CM7 developers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] theeverlastingend:
That could possibly help (would hate to annoy them though they are doing some really great work)... It's definitely something that gets asked around the net a bit as I've noticed while doing some research but it seams the MMS apk sets up the messaging settings in some way on first boot and can often be replaced after that, I think the easiest way to do that would be to script something to remove/switch the apk after its done its job right at the end of first boot, though doing so could be somewhat of a challenge in itself and their doesn't seam be any obvious lib files in the apk. As for my issue with the contact app, I think that's really provably to do with a dependance but then again it could just be the way all the contact apps I've tried are coded (not designed to run by them self and perhaps depending on the stock app in some way)...
[Captivate General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I've used a black and also a black/blue themed market. I installed it recently. Using Root man. I dropped it into ex-sd then from there placed it in System/app and let it overwrite the Vending.apk. It worked and looked great. I shut down the phone and when restarted, it was back to standard green. How do I stop this, so it stays black?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
You will need an updated themed market. everytime the market is updated you will lose any custom theme you have unless you freeze the updater but that could cause issues in its self. Your best bet is to see if the one that made theme has an updated version.
[Captivate General] PuffinNugz:
Was there an update today? Ive been working on a theme and kept flashing it today, but my market kept turning back to the usual green.
[Captivate General] spyda54:
It happens to mine periodically, I just keep the zip file downloaded now in case it happens again
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Mine updated today to version 2.3.2.
[Captivate General] GrainOsand:
Puffinugz try removing the market updates. Manage apps and uninstall updates. Then install your themed market. Having any updates installed will cause your market to revert, sometimes the updates are stoted under data/apps. So id remove any market related content from there as well.
[Captivate General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
What are the updates getting me? Are they necessary? Not quite sure I understand the removal process and that would only be good until the next update....Correct?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Each update fixes things and sometimes brings new features. You can stop it from updating by freezing the market updater or yes everytime the market updates you will lose any market theme you have. That goes for other programs as well like gmail. Normally the themed apks get updated soon after they come out so should not be long.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
2.3.3 is the latest.
[Captivate General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Mike I know this from being on your site. Can you give me an idea how to theme the gmail? I will try to make this a task for me to take up. It's the start up that I'm not sure about.

Thanks Tw1
[Kyocera Zio M6000] tool21:
so after updating to 2.2 i found out that there is only 1 set of bars up top now there was two and i believe the other was called evdo, does anyone know why its gone now ?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
Nope they removed it for some reason... dunno why.... it was basicaly replaced by the new 3g icon....

I do miss the old CDMA AND EVDO(3g) graphs though as I get really crappy cdma reception here and it always looks like I have no bars when I have full 3g reception...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
well, I'm sure you can always find a 1.6 dump and tear it down and get the bar icon for 3G and inject that into the first custom rom?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
lol if I was only smart enough to do that :)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Someone here will get it. I've been working on learning more about android so we can get to the point of using our own custom roms, maybe even clockworkmod or our own recovery or boot selecter.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xxjust_in_timexx:
Widget

If i'm not mistaken i think there is a widget in the market place for evdo bars it might have been cdma i can remember something to check on though.

**Edit: signal status bar app in the market say its is a widget and will put it on the status bar as well...works for cdma evdo and gsm. paid and free versions available.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
Yup I also want to start researching android and learn to code for the OS. I think that someone will definitely exploit the new froyo rom to create a custom rom.

We just need more devs and peeps to engage the stock roms.
[Vibrant General] Pixa241:
I searched for this answer but didnt find it so dont flame me..im familiar with flashing the roms and all that. For the update 1 on bionix frost..how exaclty do i flash it with the no wipe update. do i just flash it like i would any other rom but when i select choose zip from cw i select the update???i just dont want to mess up my phone. and also i do not get any voicemail notifications when someone leaves me a voicemail...thanks
[Vibrant General] megatherian:
yep. Just flash it through CW and you should be set.
[Vibrant General] dligon:
do you already have frost on your phone? if so just flash it like you would any other rom.
[Vibrant General] jhipe71:
is frost the bionix 1.3 version?
[Vibrant General] Pixa241:
ok thanks thats all iw anted to know....what about my voicemail notiication problem....i saw some stuff about google voice but didnt understand it.... ijust want to know when someone leaves me a voicemail and be able to hear off of my phone and i dont have internet.
[Vibrant General] Tophall32:
NO, Bionix is 2.2 based.

Frost is 2.2.1 based.
[Vibrant General] bdij305:
I'm sorry, but this ROM was terrible, for me, at least. It had incredible lag, to say the least. It wouldn't boot anything in less than a minute. I'm going back to Bionix until this is better.
[Vibrant General] Pixa241:
for me it was all good especially after the update...its running very smooth...the only problem i have is the voicemail notification problme....anyone???
[Vibrant General] Hill5:
I just straight flashed from bionix v1.2.1 to Frost full-wipe and haven't had such problems. GPS and maps are working, and no lag on menu. This ROM feels more smooth than bionix v1.2.1.
[Vibrant General] Bigby2727:
Same here everything is perfect no problems after da update and now my vibrant is faster then ever I love this forst im goin to use it intil miui is done.....
[Vibrant General] krylon360:
I made a lot of tweaks for speed after the initial release. So if you only tried Frost before the update id suggest downloading it again.

As far as vm notifications, ill check it out tomorrow.
[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
Vm notifications have to do with the visual voicemail app. I personally use gvoice so I never noticed it but people report it works now after adding it back in.
[Vibrant General] Pixa241:
after addidng the visual voicemail app or the gvoice??
[Vibrant General] Pixa241:
Ok got it fixed you were right....i installed the visual voicemail app and it got fixed...thanks for all the help:)

Did someone rooted his or her phone after upgrading to 2.2?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajh5408:
Yes, I rooted mine after the Samsung/AT&T 2.2 upgrade. Use SuperOneClick.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
Yep +1 for Super One Click.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMan94:
SuperOneClick for the win. You may have to reboot after applying. I did.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazink:
Rooting 2.2

I used superOneClick and rooted without errors, but for some reason Titanium backup thinks the phone is unrooted. I see the superuser icon after rooting, but when I type in the su command in the android terminal, I get a permission denied. Is anyone else having this problem?

NOTE: Fixed the issue, the phone needs to be rebooted after rooting, now everything works.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertogg:
Ok, so basically my nexus won't boot into Recovery mode, and I don't know what's wrong.. it just freeze on Google's logo and thats it.. I have to do a battery pull for it too start normally. I also backup my phone rom on 20/02/11 and updated Rom Manager 22/02/11 I really don't know if this is relevant but just saying.

The phone Is rooted and boot loader is unlocked, I did the bootloader unlock with Amin Sabet guide so i'm on a mac, then I use the superboot root method from paulobrien, then installed Rom Manager from the market and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

if someone could help please...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
youll have to reflash clockwork recovery. its a fairly common issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertogg:
reflashing it from Rom manager interface or from terminal?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
terminal or fastboot
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertogg:
It worked thank you!

I have had a lot of people say they cant hear me on my atrix. Does anyone have low call volume? My atrix's screen is great. I am scared to return and get one with crappy screen that a lot of users are complaining about.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
I have heard this too; I think it is because the mic port is on the front of the phone, facing you. However it also might be the active noise cancelling messing with your call. Try going into the settings menu and turning it off to see if that helps.

Rooted/ROM Captivate (For Sale)

Rooted Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] acidxda:
I have exactly the same problem.

Turning off ambient noise reduction did not work. Using bluetooth headset did not improve the call volume as well.

Does anyone have solution to this issue? It is driving me nuts. Being able to make a call should be the primary function of the cell phone :)
[Atrix 4G General] Paschalis:
Had this issue too..

Deactivated noise setting and hae better results!

In gingerbread I hope is completely fixed!

[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
I was wondering anyone here from UK has the Black edition of the DHD from Orange.

I was trying to search for some real life photographs of it without result.

From stocks image, it looks pretty awesome, and I was thinking of getting it, but it would suck if there is a big orange logo stamped on it. Anyone can confirm?

Thanks :D
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
the only orange branding on it, is on the battery cover (easly replaceable)
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
Thanks. I just looked up the bottom cover on ebay. £14 a cover still a rip off :D!
[Desire HD General] a33a:
I had it in my presence for a day or so...

Unfortunately when I compared it to my brown DHD, I must say I much preferred the brown look. The orange logo in my opinion is a bit of an eyesore but its not that big.
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
May I ask why in particular? Or it is just a preference of colour personally?
[Desire HD General] winwiz:
i have one and it much nicer than the brown (i have both)
[Desire HD General] lmsvvavr:
Hi

i own the black edition, and yes the orange logo is not very nice, but i plan to get another cover for it...

Anyway, the phone is quite nice, i must admit i've not seen (live) the brown one, but this is quite nice in black...
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
since the logo is printed on the bottom cover, we can replace luckily. But the thing is I only found the coffee colour version of it. and its not cheap, 15-20quid for that tiny cover.
[Desire HD General] a33a:
Honestly its my colour preference.

To me the brown just looks more full. It looks weighty and expensive.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Can you post some pix of your Black DHD mate? :)
[Desire HD General] Tezray:
My mates got a black one sim free no logos. Looks good but seems plain to me.
[Desire HD General] kamranh3:
Most phones are black, this kind of brown colour gives you a sense of independence, it'll be very hard to come across something cheap that's brown not black.
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
I think the brown sort of shows different colour under different lighting, sometimes you even see it in silver. The black edition is totally matte black I think.

Where did you friend get the black version btw?
[Desire HD General] KamikaZeeFu:
I got the brown version, and while I wanted the black version at first, the brown one looks sexier than I imagined. Too bad I use an otter box, so its black afterall^^

[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Can anybody with, if it's really true, a BLACK DHD be kind enough to post some pix please!!
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
yea, if anyone out here have access to the black and brown version and take a photo with them side by side, will be a very good comparision.
[Desire HD General] ShaunUK:
Just got a black DHD from Orange, compared to previous phones from them the branding is relatively unobtrusive. I've attatched a pic of the back panel that should give you some idea. Sorry about the quality but this was taken with a rubbish camera in poor lighting.
[Desire HD General] lmsvvavr:
Hi

Here is some photos from my black hd.
[Desire HD General] danrobz:
Probably wouldnt have even noticed it was different unless it was pointed out, im not very observant :p
[Desire HD General] lmsvvavr:
well, the truth is, the "brown" one would cost me £199 plus the renewal of my contract, the black came freebie....::confused::D

But, i need to cofess, i like black phones...
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
I guess the logo that was being stamped on the phone isn't so bad. since its on the back on the phone.
[Desire HD General] franklin20uk:
but on the other hand I think it won't be that hard to cut a little square black sticker and cover the orange logo :D if someone find it a bit of an eyesore.
[Desire HD General] lmsvvavr:
quite expensive, but...

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
From what I heard he got banned because he didn't credit people he should have credited and that he had warez inside his OMGB rom.

Just rumors, I really have no idea and can't back up that story.

Honeycomb was never meant to be run on a phone, cool that it's able to though but I personally wouldn't flash it :p

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ianxcom:
Doesn't seem any different from 2.3. Probably fake.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
A little research goes a long way. There are two threads that I know of explaining this, but the gist of it is that this is really an unreleased Gingerbread version from before google pushed 2.3.3 (Nexus One/S gingerbread OTA). It's absolutely legit, it's just gingerbread. JDK is looking for hits on his site or something, because he really isn't doing anything new.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ianxcom:
